 Who is this person?

  

Hello! I am MaryKate McDonald- Heckman.  I am a learning support teaching/ instructional assistant, a Penn State graduate, a wife, a daughter, a sister. I enjoy reading immensely. I like to write, go to movies, cook, and be with my friends and family.  I am not a doctor or a nutritionist.

   That being said, I am 26 years old and have been living with Lactose intolerance, allergies, and anxiety my whole life.  My family and I started out knowing very little about these things. Through trial and error, research, and yes, doctors’ appointments, I have learned a lot. I am still growing and learning, but I want to share what I have learned and am learning with others.  I hope my stories, tips, swaps, recipes, and experiences will help you or someone you know, so you don’t have to do the leg work I did. Or, at least I hope to give you a good recipe to try.
